施工
shīgōng · HSK 7
work on (of construction)
🏗️ 施工 = 施 carry out + 工 work/labor — carrying out the labor on a construction site
施 means to carry out or apply, and 工 means work or labor. Put together, 施工 is the act of doing construction work. The sound shīgōng also starts like the English she-gong, two clipped beats matching the two characters.
